Studies on the Efficiency of Fixed Boom Low Volume 
Sprayerse To (1) determine minimum amount of spray 
needed to secure adequate coverage and satisfactory control 
of insects on vegetable and canning crops; (2) develop 
efficient types of spray booms suitable for different row 
and broadcast crops; and (3) develop versatile equipment that 
may be used on several crops, particularly the adaptation 
of corn spraying equipment to spraying of peas and beans.

Breeding Sweet Corn, Peppers and Field Tomatoes for 
Massachusetts. Early types and varieties of sweet corn, 
peppers and field tomatoes will be developed that are 
adapted to the climatic conditions found in Massachusetts 
as well as sorts that may be resistant or immune to certain 
insects and diseases that prevail there.

Ecolo Life History and Control of Insects Attacki 
Vegetables in Minnesota. To (1) determine most important 
injurious insects of vegetables in Minnesota from year to 
year; and (2) develop more effective methods of controlling 
vegetable and potato insects through observations and 
experiments of life histories, ecology, varietal resistance, 
and use of insecticides.
